The Anniversary.
It lias pnssed. We are well satisfied wild
lis character and its results. The attendance
wns large. The zenl nnd firmness of its
members uiiabuted. There wns no compro
mise no yielding to slavery. Our political
friends were present in numbers nml largely
participated in the discussions. They spoke,
sometimes imploringly, sometimes impa
tiently, often elocpieully mid earnestly. Some
of llieui manifested their magnanimity und
devoliou to linti-slavery liy elTeclive ellorls
mid lihernl contributions, in raising material
uicl. The udvunced position of political unli
slavery was gladly conceded ; but none uf
these things could move tlm convention
from a faithful rebuke of concessions to shive
ry by whomsoever iimde.
For the Resolutions we nsk o careful, can
did ullenlioii. We linve much to gay of them
of the meeting, and of those who partici
pated iu it, hut have no room. The resolu
tion in regard to Mr. Gerrit Smith, was de
precuted by some hut to us none seemed
more needed than this faithful expression of
friendship to the man, nnd good will to the
cuuse. Mr. Smith's lute circular (which we
will give next week) shows evident signs of
fullering for such a man to begin to com
promise is a terrible culamity to freedom
a fcurful warning against political temptation

Wendell Phillips, Huston. Lawyer, nml
emphatically llie great gnu ol'lhn Ci iii isoiiinn
Abolitionists. Ho is nut wanting iu nnces
Iral respectability, but it may he question
ed whether the glory of his fiiuiiiy name
should nut proceed h ick w in ds from him,
rallmr Hum forward to him. 1 1 in position
and influence, us mi Ahuliiionist, render il
imperative on us to be definite iu our imiice
ufiiiin, ami yet wc find no character more
dillicult lo bit described with accuracy uml
justice. He has u goud physical coiislilulioii j
is of medium size ; has rather n sandy com
plexion; nge, some years this side (if limy ;
has ii voice of startling power und energy,
Ihongh of limited compass; nrticiilaliou re
imukahly channel. Having u powerful mem
ory, u finished education, unci the finest liter
al y taste, his weirds colon moulded lo his
will without apparent effort, delving criti
cism. While speaking, he stands creel, calm,
dispassionate. Iu temperament he is evi
dently peculiar ; for w hen bis words nre of
llm most teriibh) import, his exterior exhibits
no sign of iigitution. His gestures uro lew,
and seemingly accident. d. While listening
lo his must i llieient specimens of oratory,
you scarcely believe that u living visible be
ing is addressing you, hut rulher fancy that
the
'Thoughts that breathe, nnd words that burn,"
are issuing forth from a cold, hut mysterious
ly animated statue of marble. In some re
spects he resembles the volcano, whoso bo
som nourishes inexhaustible fires, which lire
sent thrlh lo terrily. uud to destroy, while nil
without is unruffled, nml iiuiiidicutive of the
powet wiihiu. His tiialitics, as nn Aboli
tion orator, stand out not sell'coiiflictiug, hut
fearfully independent and self-relying. His
moral courage knows no earthly limit. He
acts not nguiust conscience, hut he uets as
he. pleases. He never hetit his purpose to
suit the convenience of any man, nor of any
set of men. Having satisfied himself that a
certain course is correct, he follows it, human
institutions lo lf!e roiifrary notwithstanding.
Tho Constitution of the United Stntss he re
pudiates in Mo, liecnuse it snnclions wlnrt
ins own mind does not snnclion Slavery.
One of the secrets of his great power ns i n
ornlor is, thnt ho forces upon his auditors!
the Udief that he is speaking exactly the
convictions of his own understanding. The
opposition which his elocpience creates is of
the bitterest nnd most violent chnrncler; tho
greater mrtinu of which is probably attribu
table to the circumstance, Hint he seems un

An Instructive Lesson.
Itv llio following extract from tho Star of
the II ml, w i illcn by Ellias ll.iuiliuot, L. L. I).,
II will be perceived that the nbn leintd Amer
icans liuvo oflered llieir civilieel brethren a
mnsl beautiful uml instructive lesson on Sla
very. It is ton moriilymg a lact to make
many observations on, tor, when we consider
Hint the obligations of religious duty nn. I
brotherly love enjoin the civilization uud ad
vancement of our heathen neighbors ul home,
why should we leave lliem in distress and
send our missionaries inion how ling wilder
ness lo civilize tho wild sous ol the) lores!?
Surely, they have not ns much claim to our
sympathy ns the poor, oppressed African,
who is daily soil, ring wiihin our borders,
nnd thai, too, by the very build which ought
lo be llm very fust to loud film up lo the tem
ple of knowledge :
" Tho writer of theso sheets, mnny years
ngo, was one of tho corresponding members
of n Society iu Scotland for promoting the
(lospi l among the Indians. To further the
wink, they educated two young men nf very
seiioii.s and religious dispositions, nml who
were desirous ol uuilerlnking the mi ssion liir
that purpose. When they were ordained
ivsul ready to depart, we wrote a letter in iho
Indian sty hi, to the Delaware Nation, inform
ing them that we had, by the goodness uf the
('real Spirit, been fiivorcd with tho knowl
edge of His will, us to the worship hu re
quired of His creatures, and the means He
w ould bless In promote the happiness of man
both in this life mid that which is to eome
und thus, enjoying so much happiness nur
selves, wo could not but think of our red
brethren iu the wilderness, mid wish to com
municate tho glad tidings lo them, that they
might be partakers willi us. We had, there
fore, sent lliem two ministers of the Gospel,
who would tench them these great things,
uml I'liruesi'y recommend to llieir careful at
tention. With proper passports, the mis
sionaries set oil' and aniveel in sali'ty iu one
of llieir principal towns. Tho chiels of (he
Nation were called together, whonnsiWTcd
tin in that they would take it into con idcrn
lion, mid iu the menu liinn they might in
struct iheir women, hut t lis y should not
speak to tho men. They spent fourteen days
iu council, nml then onu of them enme very
coin leou.-ly with nn answer u us. Their an
swer made, great nckiiuw Icdgiiietits liir the
l;or we had dune lliem. They rejoiced ex
ceedingly nt our happiness uud being thus
favored by the Great Spirit, uud fell very
grateful Hint we had cuudesceuded lo ru
ini'iiiber our red brethren ol'the wildueruess,
but they could lint help remembering that
ire had a people among us who, bemuse thty
djj'ned from us in color, wu had made slaves
ol, und inailei lliem sillier great hardships and
lend miserable lives. Now, they could not
see any reason why n people being black en
titled us thus to (leul w ith then; why a red
color should not equally justify the taint treat
ment. They, therefore, hud determined to
wait to seu whether nil lliu black people
among us wcru made thus happy nml joyful
before they could put nny coulidence m our
promises, fiir they thought a people who hud
siillered so much mid so lung by our menus
should he entitled to our first attention that,
therefore they hud sent buck the two minis
ters, with many thanks, promising that when
they saw the bfaek people mining us restored
to freedom and happiness, they would gladly
receive our ministers.
